I first heard Deep Purple as a first year student at Grammar School in 1974, and they've been Rockin' my world ever since. The Deep Purple family tree soon gave me a fantastic introduction to all the members'other bands and solo albums to collect and explore. My Rock library started to grow with branches following Gillan,Glover,Blackmore,Coverdale,Trapeze,Rainbow,Whitesnake and continues to branch out and gives me new band members to backtrack and research,and a prodigious amount of music,and musicians are still being added to my collection thanks to Deep Purple. :-)

I was 16 years old lying in bed listening to the local a.m. station WLAM and at about 10:00 p.m. or so the dj breaks in and says, "I've got the new DEEP PURPLE album, and at 11:00, I'm going to play it in its entirety." WHAAAAAT!??? 2-minute song a.m. radio is gonna do whaaaat?? I stayed awake and listened and could-not-believe what I was hearing. I went to the record shop the next day. Mr. DeOrsey said I was the first one to buy DEEP PURPLE MACHINE HEAD...I still have that copy. Rock on brothahs & sistahs!✌🏼

I can tell you this… I visited both the Grand Hotel and walked the corridor and onto Petit Palace back in 2008 and when back at my hotel that night, l lay on the bed headphones on and played Machine Head - my perception the album totally changed. Even now I still get that feeling of wow - what an experience the band went through to make this 100% classic album for us…

My first Rock Concert I went to was 1972 or 73 and it was summertime Billy Preston opened for the Amazing Deep Purple who blew us all away. The crowd outside The Great Allentown Fairgrounds in Allentown Pennsylvania where their concert was held was sold out and concert goers of a couple hundred who could not get in overwhelmed security and crashed the fence. I was only 12 or 13 at the time. I went to many Rock Concerts since, but this Deep Purple concert is the most memorable. I am a lifelong fan and never stop listening. Thank you, Deep Purple, for the greatest music and memories.

I had the honor of managing DP's first online store and volunteer led fan website they adopted us as official back in 1996. I convinced them to release an MP3 from a new live CD to anyone who signed a petition for the Rock Hall of Fame on the website. US TV show Extra! did a segment on it as they were the first band to release an MP3 single. Bravo to see what started still doing these GOATS justice. Thanks for all the memories boys! - Ed Janx, with much love to Svante, Dave, Wolf, Rasmus, Andreas, and all good people from The Highway Star original fan pages🧡

Machine Head (the LP) was d first record purchased by my brother. We spent many happy hours listening to it. My brother passed away this Jan, aged 70 yrs. I am 65 yrs. Missing my brother after he passed away, I wanted to connect to our shared past. I remembered Smoke on the Water. Downloaded the ringtone for my phone of the beginning of the song. Whenever my phone rings, I feel the shared past with him. The memories of grooving to this song. This is going to be my ringtone for a long time.😊 Thank you for explaining the genesis of this super song 🎸

Ill be 64, my broths 69 but he's ok. He played me Machine head Richie was his favorite of all bands back then but he started playing at age 9 many years before this lp came out he still plays. In i think 74 deep purple came to Arrowhead my older brother took me to that concert, someone up in the stands matched ians high pitched vocals on Child in time, and thinking back Blackmore asked him to come down to the stage but he didn't go I think Ians voice was going out from that tune by that time. Plus the impact of 2 people doing that song would make it more powerful. Yes smoke on the water was one of my favorite songs, i kinda lost instrest in the band as members left, also I loved ELP and Emerson moog and Pink Floyd but One of the best albums was machine head and made in Japan A whole side of an lp for Highway starr Im still space trucking.

If you told music critics of the time, especially those working for the hard rock hating Rolling Stone Magazine, that *Smoke on the Water* would stand the test of time and still be a crowd favorite for 3 or 4 generations 52 years later, they would have thought you were mad. As it was, by 1976 they were declaring hard rock to be "dinosaur music" the moment punk and disco arrived. *Smoke on the Water* was their music poster for that declaration that hard rock was dead.

I played every song (as a keyboardist) with a band who all loved DP. I even had a souped up Leslie to get that gritty Jon Lord sound. But having spent my life writng and recording and developing my ear, I really hear how the Machine Head album somehow captures the stark, dreary cold of an empty Swiss hotel in the dead of winter. When Ian Gillan sings, "emptiness, eagles and snow," that to me is the description of the sound. Compare it with the Burn album and the difference will stand out.
